Rob,
Just a little corporate background:
"In 1990, Michelin formed a subsidiary known as the Uniroyal-Goodrich Tire
Co. Inc., a Delaware Corporation, through which it acquired the assets and
liabilities of the New York partnership. In 1995, Michelin merged the
Delaware Corporation into Michelin North America (MNA). Tires continue to be
manufactured under the B.F. Goodrich name, using the same plants and
equipment BFG originally owned."
Most of the U.S. tire companies are now foreign owned. So far, not Goodyear,
but all the other major brands. I was at Firestone when it was bought by
Bridgestone and saw first hand how it affected the engineers working their.
